Chapter 5: He

Sirius and Remus were sitting in the common room. When they got up James wasn't there(He is talking with Lily). They were sitting quietly, not really knowing what to do.

"Moony what are we going to do? He never acts like this."

Remus just shook his head. He himself was wondering the same thing. James never acted like this. Remus knew that they had to do something before Sirius went crazy.

At the lake

"James why would he come for you?" James knew this was the time to finally let this out. Lily was right. Talking about this to someone would help.

"Lily over the summer he became more powerful. He started gaining followers from well known families. Lily I don't know if you know this, but my family has always been a well known family. He came...he told my parents to follow them, and they would get power beyond imaginable. He told them that if they followed him, they would live for eternity. That he knew how to make that possible..." Lily was silent. James's voice started shaking as he continued.

"They refused. They told him they didn't want power or to be immortal. He wasn't pleased. I guess most people would say yes, but they didn't. I didn't know what to do. I was just standing there watching in the shadows."

James's voice was extremely shaky, and he had tears streaming.

"He doesn't like people saying no to him. Do you know what happens when you sat no to him?"

Lily didn't say anything. She was slightly confused about where this was going.

"When...when you sat no to him...you have no more worth in his eyes. You are just a piece of dirt waiting to be blown away...He blows you away. He kills you as soon as you say no. He...he killed them...I saw it. ..I screamed no...he heard me...Lily he'll come for me because I got away. I diapperated before the could say the curse."

Lily was stunned. She had tears streaming down her face. James Potter hadn't been talking, pranking, eating, or sleeping because he was scared out of his mind. The cocky arrogant wizard Lily had known was loosing his will to live because his family had been murdered. Lily had to knock away her pride and face the fact. James Potter wasn't who she thought he was.

"James I'm sorry. I was wrong about you. I was just looking at the eleven year old boy who was mean to my bad boy eleven year old friend. That's all I could see. I was so wrong. You aren't some cocky arrogant guy that I've been seeing. You are the exact opposite."

James was shocked. Lily Evans the girl he has loved since day one at Hogwarts was saying sorry. She was saying she was wrong. She was telling him that she cared. That's what James Potter had needed to hear. Not the 'I'm sorry you parents are dead' crap, bur the true I'm sorry. That's why he had been drwoning himself. He never believed anyone actually cared. This was just the beginning. He was finally coming up for air.

A/N Ok so you people are sort of slowly figuring things out, but just a little secret things aren't gonna go back to being nice and cheery! Because right now, everything is changing. But some things have changed! Review!
